AI-native?

Is that like mobile first?

Cool. I’m so impressed.

What do the aggrieved parties get? A $10
coupon to the Apple Store?

And the lawyers? Millions. This one case made the careers of several of them. Never have to work again.

Crazy.

(Who is the tool now with my silly autocorrect mistake? Ha. God keeping me grounded, I guess. )

The guy is ash h a tool. (Rich, of course. But still a tool)

Don’t forget .net everything. They even called windows server ‘.net’ at one point.

TurboTax is so annoying. It doesn’t ever technically lie to you about all its useless add-ons. But, I wonder how much time the engineers spend creating a good tax filing product (making it easy to use, keeping up to date with new laws, forms, etc.) vs tweaking the hell out of the workflow to subtly (and not so subtly) guide you into giving them more of your money. Yes, I know: capitalism! I’ve got no issue with them turning a profit. I do have an issue with them clearly using various bits of UX trickery, that, unless you are a dolt, are clearly designed to obfuscate their true intentions. With a slight veneer of truth to prevent class action lawsuits.

(Yes, I have moved on from them, which is my ultimate solution. They still are dishonest)

Let’s take a disaster and start experimenting with a new payment scheme, that we know somehow is profiting someone. (Yeah, I know what stablecoin means).

Only in Trump world is this lunacy given credence.

Don’t you like how he took 10 billion taxpayer dollars and transferred it to himself, I mean the board of peace, without legislative approval , and there was nary a whimper.

Nuts.

Leaving aside the creep factor, I believe people just don’t want to interact this way. It’s goofy.

We’ve been down this road before with glasses, augmented reality, whatever.

“This time it’s different. It will actually be useful in ways you can’t even imagine!”

Well, that’s a little scary on its face. And I still recoil from the basic use case/form factor even assuming complete benevolence.

I thought they were going to re-write the whole thing in 30 days using AI. Weren’t they sleeping on the floor until they got it done?

Maybe that was social security. I’ve forgotten.

It’s so stupid. Do you honestly believe this will happen, where real money is on the table?

I am sure there’s nuance: he’s saying it *could* happen, I suppose, and only if companies endorse his view. If they don’t, and stay in the dark ages, then that’s on them.

Sounds like the same drivel we get from Muskie.

He’s probably been told by someone he’s not visionary enough. So he gets out there with some projection, because everyone is doing it, and no one seems to pay a price for getting it wrong.

Good grief.

I once saw a guy say his system sounded better after the new cables he bought “rested a few days.” I.e: stretched out on the floor, routed from his amp to his speakers. I’m no EE, but that sounds a bit daft.

As Trump pardons him, I can hear it now:
“He’s been treated very very very very unfairly. Very very unfairly. Some people say more unfairly than anyone. I think worse maybe. It’s a disgrace. “

Then onto the big-eyed blonde in the black turtleneck with the fake deep voice .

Seems like some cash, or a gold bar in the shape of the Msft logo, delivered in some sycophantic ceremony in the Oval Office should help here. All the cool CEOs are doing similar now.

Have you done an analysis of all his public statements on business ideas and compared them with reality? Me belief is it’s far worse than you are giving him credit for. How’s the car company doing? And self driving (that is: full self-driving where I can take a nap in the backseat). It seems like he’s bored with it, so, he’s given up. Now it’s robots. Billions of im not mistaken.

You should try not to buy into the whole “business bravado.” It’s tiring when it’s detached from reality. He think he’s being visionary. He’s not. His stuff is so unhinged, what I would call him is a futurist. Futurists are a dime a dozen. People have been writing books and spouting all sorts of wacky ideas like this for a century. Anyone can say “I’m going to make 1 billion robots, and they will do everything you’d ever want!”

You do realize that talk is cheap.

One tell that he’s got some issues: he’s always telling people that he’s sleeping on the office floor because he’s working so hard. Seems like he’s trying to impress just a bit too much.

But sure, at the end of the day, he’s on his way to being a trillionaire, and I am not.

Can someone shut him down for a while? I can’t remember where his switch is.
